Chaparral calls to mind the dry, sage-covered hills that rise from the California coast. Made in the tradition of alpine herbal liqueurs from Italy and France and inspired by 19^th century medicinal yerba santa tinctures, this bracing digestif can be enjoyed neat or as an exceptional cocktailing ingredient. Experiment using Chaparral as you would Chartreuse, Becherovka, or Strega.
